Changes from a Leaf (Code) Selection
The figure at right shows the various options that can be selected when a Leaf node is selected in the Value Set Navigator window, and the right mouse button is clicked. In each case, the menu selection starts a process to define changes to be applied to the selected Coded Concept. These selections are intended to cover all possible operations on a leaf node. In aggregate, the functions provided include: |
Move Code
Many of the Code Systems in HL7 have a hierarchical representation of the code contents such that placing one code "under" another means that the child code represents a subtype of the parent code. This code action moves a Concept Code from its original parent to a new parent in the Code System.
- Within the Value Set Navigator select the Leaf node that that is to be Moved
- Right click on the selected node
- Select Move Code (see menu at right)
- At present (Early October 2007) nothing happens and this function is not available.
Retire Code
Once a Coded Concept has been added to a Code System, its code value can never be reused. Thus one cannot delete a code, rather the code must be retired which prevents its future use or display.
